THE WEEK IN OIL.
A Good Volume of Business and a Gain
In Frice.
Trading was so much bettor than before
the premium was taken off as to strengthen
expectation of a full revival. Actual sales
during the week aggregated about 150,000
barrels.
Traders were cautious. The McDonald
field has yielded so many surprises, that
both bulls and bears were inclined to go
slow and await developments. At the close
of the market Saturday noon several wells
were expected In by Monday.
Cash oil was slow. A Tew small lots
changed hands during the week at 63J and a
few at bO-. Tho week's range for the
November option is given in the following
table:
Opened. Highest. Lowest. Cloae.
Monday. GO1 62 MS 61M

Saturday 61 6IJ4, 61 62
As compared with the close of the pre
vious Saturday, this is a gain of nearly 2
cents, showing that the hulls have not been
completely demoralized by the extraordi
nary production at McDonald.
Refined finished the week JJ higher. It
was steady and unchanged at other points.

DELAYED BY POLITICS.
One Reason Why the Staytbn-Wyman Con
test Is Not Delng Shoved A Contest
Over One Ward Judge Ewing Takes a
Hand.
Judge Ewing has been taking a hand in a
Stayton-'Wyman contest for the Mayoralty
of Allegheny City. In the visions of the
night, his Honor was reminded that in the
days of yore there had been a commissioner
appointed take testimony, so lately he sum
moned the Commissioner, J. D. Shafer, to
make a report.
Mr. Shafer could only report progress.but
he gave all ot that he could, and what Judge
Jawing will do about it remains to be seen.
Some time ago Mr. Shafer ceased making
adjournments to times, as he did not want
to pile up costs, and so adjourned the hear
ing one dav sine die. Some people thought
it strange that "NVynian's attorney s, Hughey
and Bennett, did not take a rule on the op
position to proceed or close testimony, but
they seemed peifectly satisfied as matters
stood.
Attorney William Brennen was asked
yesterday "why he did not proceed. He
stated that his progress was as rapid as is
usual in such cases, considering the magni
tude of the work on hand, lie said it was
no trifling matter to go through 70
election boxes and determine what they
contained, and beside, it was a kind
that did not usually proceed very rapidly.
Mr. Brenncn further stated that the investi
gation had been delayed by a contest in the
Twelfth ward, during which some needed
papers had been lost. He said, however,
that there was no intention to abandon the
contest, and that the track had not grown
cold. At present, of course, politics is
politics, and until the smoke of the Novem
ber conflict is blown away, it is not prob
able much will be done.

TRADE OF THE WEEK.
Business Toning Up, With No Dis
torting Influences in Sight.
GENERAL CONDITIONS INVITING.
Contributions From the City and Three of
the Bustling Suburbs.
FEATURES OF MONET, STOCKS AND OIL
Business Improved somewhat In Pitts
burg during the week and held its own at
other places. There were no new disturb
ances and some of the old ones were re
moved. C. V. "White & Co. compromised
with their creditors at CO cents on the dol
lar. This will expedite the resumption of
business by Eea Bros. & Co. Gold exports
fell off, but a halt in the movement of grain,
due to a scarcity of cars and bursting ware
houses, maintained the money market in an
easy position.
Taking the country through, the volume
of trade was as large as ever 'known at the
same season, while the outlook was full of
encouragement. If the banks' pursue a
liberal policy toward the substantial in
terests of the country confidence will be
further strengthened and expansion aug
mented. In a general way they are doing
this, but occasionally they refuse support to
an industry known to be perfectly sound.
This reacts upon other Interests and pro
duces general disorder. Banks should help
and not hinder.
Another Apartment House.
Dr. Hyatt, well known on Wylie avenue, is
building a flve-story apartment house on
Crawford street, and expects to have it
completed this year. The apartment house
on Washington street is under roof, end will
bo completed in about a month. Theo two
structures are probably the forerunners of
several others of the same kind in that quar
ter. They are badly needed..
Increasing Its Facilities.
The Panhandle Railroad Company has
Just purohased between four and Ave acres
of ground at Mnnsflold to enable it to in
crease its yard facilities and erect a round
house large enough to accommodate 15 or 20
engines. The same company Is building a
handsome stone and brick station at North
Mansfield.
Tho necessity for thess Improvements
shows that Mansfield borough and its sub
urb are keeping in line with other progres
sive communities around Pittsburg.
The Week's Building Record.
Building operations were slow last week
so far as new work was concerned. This is
accounted for by the lateness of the season.
Thirty-one permits were issued for S3 im.
provements of a total estimated value of $74,.
175. The previous week 44 permits were
issued for 52 improvements, at an estimated
cost of $114,490. The total number of bonses
for which permit have been issued this year,
to date, is 2,510. This is about equal to last
year.
A Prosperous Community.
Sharpsburg is, perhap, the best equipped
borough in the county. Nearly all the
streets are graded and paved. It has com
plete water and sewerage systems.and a well
organized fire department. Two railroads
afford transportation facilities, which will
be augmented by an electric Btreot car line
rapidly approaching completion. Anumbor
of Important manufacturing concerns are
situated here. But, best of all, it is practi
cally out of debt. The Income from the
waterworks not only pays interest on the
bonds isned for their construction, but the
principal as it falls due.
Valuable Option Secured.
A prominent real estate firm on Fourth ave
nue yesterday secured an option on a piece
of down-town business property for $100,090.
They had been working on it for several
months. This deal consummated, will give
the city another large waiehouse.
A Lively Town.
The growth of McDonald, the new oil
town, is without a parallel since tho
bustling timos in the earlv history
of the oil trade. To meet the large lncreaso
lu the local traffic of the place, the Panhan
dle Railroad Company has decided to put on
two additional passenger trains, making 24
each way dally. A few days ago four trains
a day were sufficient.
Before oil was "struck" real estate was at
a discount. Building lots went a-begging at
from $160 to $i03 A few have lately changed
hands at from $300 to $503. The place has re
ceived an impetus which will romain after
the oil excitement subsides.
Yet with all these benefits and advantages,
property is proportionately cheaper, both
to buy and rent, than in any other suburb
adjacent to the city.
A Dig Sale Consummated.
During the week Kelly & Rogers, East End
real estate dealers, consummated the sale

A SHRINKAGE IN BUSINESS AND
PRICES A LITTLE LOWER.
Results ot tho "Week's Operations on
'Change Slightly Favorable to the Bears
Gains and Losses of No Permanent
Significance Figures on Bonds.
Whllo there were no radical price changes
during the week the trend was downward.
With one or two exceptions the entire active
list finished at a loss, and in most cases at
the lowest figures made.
Closing prices, as compared with those of
the previous Saturday, show the following
changes: Pittsbnrg Traction gained $1 and
Luster J. Philadelphia Gas lostKpCitizens'
Traction K. Pleasant Valley Electric
and Switch and Signal .
Considerable effort was made by the bears
to pnt the market down, but results show
that they wero not very successful. Frac
tional changes have no significance beyond
showing which side has the preponderance
of orders Speculation persistently iefues
to respond to tho factors which are stimulat
ing all other branches of business. Stocks
for tho most part are in tho hands of people
financially strong enough to wait. This will
prevent prices from going much lower.

WALL STREET'S REVIEW.
A FAVORABLE BANK STATEMENT, BUT
IT IS DISCOUNTISD.
The Result Is That Stocks Were High In the
First Part of the Bay and Lower Later
On Early Gains More Than Neutral
ized. New York, Oct. 17. Tho stock market to
day was quiet, andlifter continuing strong
during most of the session, yielded to re
newed bear pressure, and the early gains
were wiped out in almost every case among
the active shares.
The opening was made on a moderate vol
ume of business, but first prices were from
H to percent higher than last night's
figures, supported by further purchases for
foreign account and considerable buying for
theshoite. The market continued to im
provo on a small volume of business until
uf ter the issue of the bank statement, which
showed a large increase in cash and a gain
in the surplus reserve of $2,390,000, but the
buying during the earlier part of tho day
bad been to discount this fa orable exhibit,
and there was a rush of tho trading element
in the final dealings to put out another line
of shorts, based on the withdrawal of the
Bupport given dunng the last few aays.
The result was that prices yielded rapidly
in the last few minutes' trading, and nlmost
without exception the previous gains were
neutralized with something lost in addition.
The trading during tho entile session failed
to exhibit any feature of note. The early
advance were ronflned to fractions and
were very uniform throughout thenctive
list, w hilo the later declines possessed the
same quality.
Atchion, Northern Pacific preferred, Mis
souri Pacific, Louisville and Nashville,
Union Pacific, St. 1'aul and Lackawanna
weio the leading actlvo stocks, but in
neither was there any remarkable trading.
The market finally closed quiet and heavy
at the decline, with most stocks at a shade
undt r flrt prices. The final changes aro all
insignificant, but declines abound.
Rail iiud bonds were relativelv more ac
ti e than sliai c, and the transactions of the
two hours' session reached $821,500. The tone
wasstiongand tho late weakness in stocks
was not reflected, though the final changes
of note are generally in the Inactive issues."

John M. Oakley & Co. received the follow
ing: "The market to-day was very nearly a
duplicate of last Saturday, hlghor in the
first transactions and lower toward tho close
on the help of a favorable bank statement.
There is a short interest in the market ns was
very clearly shown last satnrday and again
to-day. Probably the traders are right.
They may make money on tho short side,
hut they wil1 hardly get any big break to
cover on. The most that they can, nnd
probably the most that they do expect is to
cover at a small profit. The indications are,
however, that the market will do better by
Monday afternoon, and while the late rally
may again give way to dullness the chances
favor the bull side of the market. There is
nobujingfeaer, no excitement, and vet no
selling of consequence is provoked by the
apathy of speculation.
"The bank statement was about what was
expected. It showed a gain in actual cash
of over $1,500,000, but owing to the increase
of $8,000,000 in deposits, which enhanced the
reserved requirements by neirly $2,100,OCO,
the increase in snrnlus was onfv S2.390.0C0.
This leaves the banks with $9 030,950 above
their legal limit. There is plenty of money
to go round,
"The Standard Oil stock is now quoted In
prhnte tiansnctions at about $157 to $158.
The first half of this year was the bost the
company ever had, and yet the prices of fin
ished products to consumers at home and
abroad were never so low. The ownership
of a most prolific field in Ohio and the estab
lishment of local supply companies in all
the countiies of Europe are potent faotors
in the property of this great organization.
"Buckeye (Ohio) oil is sold as low as HKo
per barrel in Oil City, bnt thero is almost no
open market for it. Of course it is ridicu
lously cheap, but no one wishes to compete
with the Standard, who show-no disposition
to boom the Ohio article. Pennsylvania oil
opened at 61Vc; highest, 61c; lowest, GlJJc;
closing, 61o."

ment in the call for money, while routine
lines were more active. All good paper was
readily accepted, showing that people who
control tho money supply are neither hard

That local business is broadening is proved
by the report o operations at the Clearing
House. Exchanges were upward of $1,000,
000 In excess of those or the previous week.
They lead 1889 ana every other vear in the
history of the city, except 1890, when the
paco was too rapid, and disaster followed.
Conditions ate favorable to a contlnnanco
of the foi ward movement. Confidence un
derlies every substantial Interest. Weak
concerns are about weeded out. Money is
well distributed. There is a fceltnsotre
pose.which reflects a healthy sentiment and
gives assurance of a prosperous era in store

Reports of Bains In North Dakota Acts of
European Governments In Belatlon to
IIoe Products and Breadstuff Later
News Favorable to the Bears.
CniCAGO Wheit opened dull and easy
to-day, influenced chiefly bv the heavy re
ceipts, which were 17C cars In excess of the
estimates. The market also felt the pressure
of the wheat delivered on puts yesterday,
but there was liberal covering by shorts.
Then came a report that it was raining
again in North Dakota, and that much of the
wheat in the Red River Valley wa ngaln in
peril. Next came a cable stating that it was
reported in Germany that Russia was about
to prohibit the exportation of potatoes,
wheat, bread and wheat flour. Thli was not
given mnch consideration for a time, bnt
when a rennrt was added to it that the ex
ports from both coats of wheat and flour
during the past 16 wee'es amounted tb 66,073,
000 bushels agnlnst 28,939 000 bushels for the
corresponding period last year, there was a
rally of half a cent, followed by a slight re
cession, nnd then a. period of dullness and
steadiness.
Dnrlng the last hour the market turned
very weafcon easier c.iblcs, increased offer
ings and a sharp decline in New York nnd
the Northwest. December opened at 98c,
down to 97c, reacted to 9SJc, h"ld around
9SKo for a time, then broke to 9754c rallied
to 97c and closed at 97ic.
The trade In corn was very slow and with
little news to affect prices. November
opened at 48c, sold to 480 and held within
that range during the forenoon, but weak
ened during the afternoon with wheat, go
ing down to 47c nnd closing at that price.
Oats were quiet and steady without any
change in prices to speak of.
The receipts of hogs continue heavy, and
holders of hog Droducts are inclined to mar
ket them, fearing lower prices. The an
nouncement that Italy would soon remove
the embargo on American wheat had no
strengthening effect on the market, as such
an act, It was asserted, would do no good so
long as the present prohibitive tariff on
American meats remains. The market was
weak all day and closed at the bottom. Pork
shows a loss of 2537Kc; lard is 1012fcoff,
and ribs are 1215c down, except October,
which Is 7c higher.

A Boston Man Looks Into Bis Head and
Promptly Goes to Sleep.
I have n fray of putting myself to sleep
that has never failed, says Eobert E. Toole,
of Boston, in the St, Louis Qlcbe-DenocraL
I close my eyes lightly, and then gently
and gradually direct them upward and
finally inward, as if I wanted to look into
the interior of my own skull. The move
ment most be gentle and gradual or the
sudden strain on the nerves will give yon a
headache, and sometimes there may be
some slight discomfort on the first
two or three trials, but it wears off
rapidly. After you have retained
your eyes in this position for a few mo
ments you feel yourself losing consciousness
of time and place and slowly slipping, with
delightful smoothness and a kind of a dreamy
softness, out of the present.
I invariably have the one sensation, that
of floating in a boat on gently rocking bil
lows that are moving easily away. The
process is really a kind of self-hypnotism,
and while you are performing it your
mind is unable to lake up any thread
of thought or memory, or present to it
self any picture other than tho one that the
process itself supplies. It is a -very singu
lar thing, and I find that nearly all my ac
quaintances can repeat after me the self
hypnotie movement.

IT IS ELECTRICITY
That Appears as a Powerful Agent for the
Curing or Disease.
Tire Scizxnno Ussfe of EtEcraicrrr Below
we give a few examples of the beneficial ef
fects or electricity when skillfully and scien
tifically applied, aided by the rational ad
ministration of the proper medicines.
Is PtTLaovAKT Cossujtmos Pulmonary
consumption affords a- fine example of a
battle for life between the blood corpuscle
from within and the disease germs from
without with tissues sodden with catarrhal
secretions as the battlefield. It I afaci
well demonstrated that the most effective
en cm v to tho germ of this disease is the elec
tric enrrent acting upon the nervous tlssne,
stimnliting the vaso motor system which
controls the organs of digestion, assimilation
and absorption. Puro rich blood is always
the result of healthy nervous power.
The Fallacy of Toxics It mar now be
taken a definitely settled that iron, potash,
manganese and other so-called tonics have
a direct deleterious effi ct in this disease.
Instead of thee drug-i the organio ystem
needs rest and regenerative force by means
, of gently stimulating tho depresse&nervoua
system by electrical treatment. All other
treatment ultimately falls. Thl, followed
faithfully and perseveringly, slowly but sure
ly succeeds. Bv treating the consumptive
patient nnd building ud bis vitality it ena
bles him to overcome the disease.
Nepvocs DlSE SE3 ATfD Geitebax, Debixitt,
In tho treatment of nervous diseases and,
general debility electricity demonstrates
again its restorative pon ors. Here it is not
the stimulating action of the remedies
usually classed as tonics that is needed.
Tho organic powers of the system are
already taxed to their utmost ability to
carry on the physiological processes of life.
Electricity gives the much needed effect in
these conditions not that of a stimulant by
irritation, to be followed by a depressing
reaction bnt that of a true nutriment to
the starving tissues. Its tonic effects aro
permanent as thev are the effects of a richer
blood supply, bringing healthy food and
oxygen to tho tissnes. Thus tho patient is
gradually brought up to his normal condi
tion. ly Coxvalescesce, Wastiso Diseases, Era
In convalescence, from acute diseases elec
tricity should be used to msuru rapid con.
valescence and to escape the liability to tha
establishment of chronic diseased condi
tions. As a ready oxygenator or the blood,
nnd as a tonic and puro reconstructive 01
ill-nourished tissues.many other indications
for its use will suggest themselves to tho
physician, following out the idea of its phy
siological action. Thus ono can readily see
tne reasons for its efficacy In rickets, maras
mus, wasting discharges," debility and many
other diseases characterized by malnutri
tion or lowered vitality.
Is neuraloia, sciatica, rheumatism, con
gestions and conditions of nervous excite
ment, of sensitiveness of any description,
electricity gives relief and permanent bene
fit with a magical piomptitude and direct
ness and all the time causing little or no
sensation beyond.a gentlu stimulation and
warmth.
It is generally supposed by the unin
formed thut the amount of sensation pro
duced by an electric battery is the measure
of the good done oy the enrrent.
This is a great mistake, as eleotrlclty
should never be applied in sufficient foroe to
"shock" any one. A gilvanic battery will, in
the usual method of applying, produce com
paratively little sensation, and ot, under
the intelligent direction of a physician, tho
galvanic current will work cures in cases
and forms or disease which the more stirring
and nerve exciting farndic current is totally
unfit for. The galvanic current is a steady
and uniform flow of electricity in one direc
tion, mild, soothing and tonic in its effects.
"I had as severe an attack of selatio rheu
matism as ever anyone had. I was taken
down about June L and suffered tortures."
Says Mr. David V. Spesiser, of Sannyside,
Westmoreland county, Pa. I heard of tha
